Chapter 39: Suppressing the Demon Dragon!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon hearing a Gold-rank expert calling him from afar, James replied, “Yes, Mr. Garsley!”
Although he did not recognise Garsley, he was the only Gold-rank expert present among the crowd.
Thus, it must be him.
After all, with such a high return rate, Garsley would not have invited another Gold-rank expert to share the cake if he was smart enough.
All the benefits should be enjoyed alone. This was the mindset of a businessman.
After James joined the team, he was surprised to find that Jason, the adventurer from before, was also here.
Furthermore, his aura had already reached the Level 5 Silver rank.
Two days ago, he was just a weakling at the Level 6 Silver rank.
It seemed that Jason had been quite lucky over these two days.
After greeting Jason with a smile, James and Jason joined the team.
Looking at the 30 Silver-rank experts in the manor, it was as if Garsley could see the image of the Turgar Demon Dragon falling at his feet.
He said excitedly to the Silver-rank adventurers, “Thank you, brave adventurers, for accepting this mission. Believe me, this will definitely be the best decision you’ve made in your lives.”
“After all, one we kill the Turgar Demon Dragon, you will be the Dragon Slaying Heroes!”
At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
“Mr. Garsley, we can testify for your greatness!”
“However, these two adventurers are only Level 5 Silver adventurers. Are they really qualified to fight with us?”
Upon hearing this, all the adventurers present looked at James and Jason.
They never expected that Level 5 Silver adventurers would actually dare to accept this mission!
Weren’t they asking for death?
Did they really think that just because the mission said that the Level 5 Silver rank was the minimum, it meant that Level 5 Silver adventurers had the qualifications to participate in this?
What a joke!
James had no expression when faced with everyone’s gazes.
However, Jason really couldn’t help it. He yelled at the adventurer who had initially said he had no right to participate.
“What did you say?! On what basis do we, Level 5 Silver adventurers, not have the qualifications to participate in this mission?”
“Even Mr. Garsley didn’t say anything, so what are you saying here!”
However, this kind of counterattack was useless. The group of Level 1 and 2 Silver adventurers around them looked at them coldly.
“Mr. Garsley, I think that we should eliminate these two Level 5 Silver weaklings. Otherwise, we might have to turn back and retreat!”
Upon hearing this, Garsley pretended to think for a moment. Then, he said to everyone, “Since I’ve indicated that all adventurers above Level 5 Silver can participate in this mission, then they can participate. One cannot go back on his words!”
In reality, he did not care whether the adventurers were at the Level 5 Silver rank or not.
After all, he simply wanted people to resist the Turgar Demon Dragon’s skill.
As for whether these two Level 5 Silver adventurers could withstand the skill or die as a result, this was not something he needed to consider.
Since Garsley had already said so, these Level 1 and 2 Silver adventurers naturally had nothing to say.
However, they still looked at James and Jason with an unfriendly gaze!
Not only were those two pieces of trash weak, they were also unable to determine their own strength clearly. Most importantly, for every extra person in the team, they would have to share their commission with them.
This was something they did not want to see.
“Alright, let’s go!” Garsley roared.
The group of people walked out of Saint Laurent City with great momentum.
It could be said that all the adventurers in Saint Laurent City knew about this mission.
They watched as the 31-man team gradually left.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
After travelling for an hour, James and the others reached the Turgar Mountain Range.
The Turgar Demon Dragon was an extremely tyrannical and bloodthirsty creature. Thus, it was the only living creature in the entire mountain range.
Any other creatures had either been eaten by it or driven away.
Therefore, they could directly reach the habitat of the Turgar Demon Dragon.
The group of people had no intention of concealing their tracks. Just as they walked to the center of the mountain range, a loud dragon roar was heard.
Then, a huge figure loomed over James and his group.
Everyone silently swallowed their saliva as they looked at this Demon Dragon with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters.
They felt an immense sense of pressure.
A trace of anger flashed past the Turgar Demon Dragon’s eyes as it saw 31 people arrive in its territory.
Mere humans had dared to come to its mountain range. They were truly tempting fate!
“Humans?!”
“Die!”
As it flew in the air, the Turgar Demon Dragon launched its attack from the air. Two bright magic arrays lit up on its wings.
Then, a blazing meteor shot out from his mouth!
It was so fast that no one below could dodge it. As a result, they could only take the attack head on.
Looking at the meteor, Garsley knew that this was the signature skill of the Turgar Demon Dragon —— Calamity Stars!
“I was waiting for you!” Garsley shouted excitedly.
A ray of yellow light connected everyone present.
Following that, a huge magic shield covered their heads.
Then, the Calamity Stars skill fiercely crashed into the yellow magic shield.
A shocking sound was instantly heard.
When the dust settled, everyone below was fine. However, all the Silver-rank adventurers had their spiritual energy sucked dry and they collapsed to the ground!
In fact, Garsley was surprised to find that the two Level 5 Silver adventurers weren’t dead. He was excited and said to the adventurers lying on the ground, “Brothers, you did well! It’s up to me now!”
Although the Turgar Demon Dragon’s Calamity Stars was its signature skill, it could not be used instantaneously.
Every time it used this skill, it would take a long time before it could activate it again as it needed time to recover its spiritual energy.
However, with the help of the magic array, Garsley did not lose any spiritual energy.
He also had the strength of a Level 5 Gold expert. Furthermore, he was at full strength, while his enemy was in a state of great spiritual energy loss.
It was obvious who would win.
However, James did not think so. He could clearly sense that this Turgar Demon Dragon had the strength of a Level 4 Gold expert.
If Garsley charged forward just like that, he would definitely suffer.
Indeed, everything was as James had expected.
An angry roar came from the sky.
“A… Level 4 Gold creature?!”
Then, a figure fell from the sky.
It was Garsley.
All the Silver-rank adventurers present watched as the Gold-rank expert, Garsley, actually lost.
Their eyes were filled with despair.
If even the strongest expert was defeated, wouldn’t they all be dead for sure?
Seeing this, James knew that it was his turn.
He dusted himself off and stood up.
He walked towards Garsley, who was bleeding profusely. Then, he smiled and said, “Mr. Garsley, if I make a move now and kill the Turgar Demon Dragon…”
“Give me half of its resources, as well as half of the commission from this mission!”
“How about it?”
Garsley was very shocked. He had not expected this Level 5 Silver adventurer to be hiding his strength.
Furthermore, he could not see through this adventurer!
But now that things had come to this, he could only agree to this person’s conditions if he wanted to live.
“Alright, I agree!”
“It’s alright, Mr. Garsley. Just watch my performance!”
James smiled. Then, he turned toward the Turgar Demon Dragon…
